| Formulation |
The Mouse IL-18 protein solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8 and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
Interleukin-18 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 178 amino acids (36-192 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 20.4 kDa. The Mouse IL-18 is fused to a 20 amino acids His Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Interferon-gamma-inducing factor, IGIF, IL-1g, IL-18, IL1F4, MGC12320, IFN-gamma-inducing factor, Interleukin-1 gamma, IL-1 gamma, Iboctadekin, Il18. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless liquid formulation. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
